About this ebook

IACP Cookbook Award Nominee: Food your baby will go gaga for—made with pure, wholesome ingredients and love.

Preparing simple, homemade food in the comfort of your own kitchen is one of the greatest gifts you can give your little one. Not only does it allow you to nourish your child with the purest and most wholesome ingredients, but it also gives you the peace of mind of knowing what has gone into every bite your baby takes.

Full of recipes to suit every age and stage—from six months all the way to twenty-three months—The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet shows you how easy it is to prepare quick purées like Mighty Tasty Blueberry and Pear Mash and No-Cook Prune Purée, as well as new and nourishing meals like Sweet Omelet Surprise and Finger-Lickin’ Good Lentils and Potato with Cheese. To make things even more easy-peasy, you’ll find each recipe also contains:

• Two methods for preparation—stovetop or microwave—wherever applicable, so you can whip up recipes in whatever time you have
• An easy-to-spot snowflake icon on all recipes suitable for freezing, so you can make baby’s meals at your convenience, or in batches, to save time and money
• A complete nutritional analysis, so you can be sure you’re giving your child the best possible start

“I can’t think of a better or more enjoyable way to start a baby on a lifetime of happy and healthy eating exploration than to mash and puree your way through every one of these recipes.” —Marion Nestle, Ph.D., author of What to Eat
